We're Obsessed With This Easy DIY Artwork Project (& You'll Be, Too!)
UPDATE: The long weekend is the perfect time to start some new projects, so why not try this awesome (and so easy) artwork DIY? This story was originally published on July 25.
If there are two things that have been commanding our attention lately, they're cool artwork and chevron prints. So, we were obviously pretty stoked to find a way to incorporate both — for cheap! — in an amazing DIY project for your apartment.
Inspired by the work of artist Nancy Ramirez, two stellar Refinery29 interns collaborated on this easy-does-it way to spice up an empty wall. There's no need to be intimidated — this project is doable for any level of DIY-er (it's actually supposed to look a little imperfect!). All you need is a paintbrush, your fave colors of paint, a canvas, and some painter's tape. After you've assembled your supplies, prepare to channel your inner Picasso, because your masterpiece is but a click away.
From the moment we spied this Nancy Ramirez painting on Pinterest, we were smitten. Our next thought: How can we do that? Even better, how can we help you do it, too?
To do this project, you'll need:
A canvas, in any size you choose
Painter's tape
Acrylic paints in your preferred colors, plus one bottle of white paint
A paintbrush (or two, if you'd rather alternate brushes than wash one between colors)
Scissors
A disposable plate, wax paper, or scrap cardboard to use as a palette
Paper towels or a drop cloth to cover your work area
